Beneficiary Information > Federal tab > Special Allocations dialog

Use this dialog to specially allocate net income items.

Income Distributions group box

Required amounts and percentages are applicable to first tier beneficiaries, while discretionary amounts and percentages are applicable to second tier beneficiaries. For estates and complex trusts, a beneficiary may be both first and second tier.
If the distribution is proportionate among the income types, leave these fields blank and enter the distribution amounts and percentages in the
Income distribution
fields on the Federal tab.
For example, if the trust document requires that the first beneficiary receives 100 percent of the income from rental properties and that all other income is divided equally between the second and third beneficiaries, the following would be your data entry assuming all beneficiaries are first tier beneficiaries:
  • For the first beneficiary, in the Special Allocations dialog, enter 100.0000 in the
    Rental real estate: Required percent
    field.
  • For the second and third beneficiaries, on the Federal tab in the Allocations group box, enter 50.0000 in the
    Income distributions: Required percent
    field.

Long-term Capital Gains group box

Required amounts and percentages are applicable to first tier beneficiaries, while discretionary amounts and percentages are applicable to second tier beneficiaries. For estates and complex trusts, a beneficiary may be both first and second tier.
Enter amounts and percentages to allocate section 1231 gain separately from other long-term capital gains. If the distribution of section 1231 gain is proportionate to the distribution of total long-term capital gains, you may leave these fields blank and enter the distribution amounts and percentages in the
Long-term capital gains
fields in the Allocations group box on the Federal tab.
